Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.

Stupendous Garcia

Howling Jerome

Theyind of all over the place

This gets kind of woolly, maybe a little chaotic but worth a listing

Nice bit at the end, too

This is superb, and believe it or not it's the highlight of pre-drums! Jerry is on, and there's a space jam at the end!

I find this to be an excellent version, seems to be underrated. MIDI era and that's cool here, Jerry always plays great stuff on this

The ever-important 3rd lead in full effect
